Born June 30, 1950 in Salt Lake City, Ut.-Beloved Wife, mother and grandmother. The eldest daughter of seven children of Silverio and Beatrice Ornelas. She was a very proud mother of the one and only son Nic Wright, whom she loved to the moon and back. The other love of her life were her grandkids Tanner and Ava. Graduated from South High School. She married Keith Wright and later divorced. She met a very sweet partner Brad Nelson and his daughter Melissa Nelson. Linda was an avid sports fan, Utah Jazz, Golf, Nascar and especially The University of Utah football and basketball, but her all-time favorite thing to do was spending every minute she could with her Granddaughter Ava as well as her family.
Linda worked right out of high school at the young age of 17, straight to working at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Salt Lake City Branch for 40 plus years. There she made many friends and had so many memories.
Linda was a caregiver to our mom. She took care of her finances, clothing and ran many errands for her. Our mom will miss her dearly and we will too. Our siblings have always been very close and still are. We feel so lucky to have such an amazing sister. We Love you so much and will always keep you dear to our hearts.
This isn’t good-bye, it’s until we meet again. ♥
